I think this will also help bring in more people to testing as they can be assigned "easier/safer" apps which are further along in development, and we can leave the more difficult/more likely to brick apps for the more experienced guys. Probably mean we will have less people bricking their devices as well! :D

I want stuff that i can test but in the worst case have to uninstall and reboot. I figured this may help the testing along as there may be others like me willing to test but dont really want the risk of completely bricking the device.

is this possible? reading some topics and posts it seems there is a lack of testers. Could it not be split into hardcore testing i.e developers than know what they are doing and would be able to fix their device if needs be. Then a n00b testing area when the SW is at a stage where it will not break your phone

Just an idea and seems to have been discussed here but not much activity.

u can merge the threads if you like but thought this would be better on the n900 board as people like myself who own the device but do not venture on the development forum
